Hi, coffeeismylife

A term is an integer, who's value is not i, and is greater than 0 or less than 0.

Are you still there @coffeeismylife ?

Mhm.

Answer 7

Do you have a definition for the word: $$\Huge term$$

Answer 8

Yeah. Term means "part of the expressions and equations seperated by operation symbols and/ or equal signs"

Answer 9

I prefer the much simpler definition:

term: In the sum a + b, a and b are called terms.

Using this definition simply count them :-)
